Captions available
The idea
Theoretical sampling directs who is recruited next according to what the developing analysis needs.
In practice
A researcher seeking a participant whose situation would test an emerging category.
Where people slip
The sample is not fixed at the start. That is a feature of the method, not a weakness in it.
